about ANY Player
Piano is the Piano itself
X
)f
That is what gives you the TONE, which is one of
the main essentials in music. If the foundation is
right, the tone will be right. The first thing to get
right about a player-piano is the piano. That is why
the
PLAYER
PIANO
has been so enthusiastically adopted by prominent
teachers and musicians as the player-piano standard.
Its basis is the famous Lester Piano, which has for
more than a quarter of a century been one of the
great piano leaders.
The world's foremost artists have testified to its
superiority. All this excellence goes into every
Lester Piano PLUS a player action which positively
has no equal. All pqrts are made in one factory
FOR LESTER PLAYERS ONLY. They are not
found in any other player-piano.
And yet it is as easy to own a Lester as any of the
inferior players now flooding the market. Being sold
direct, all jobbers' and agents' profits are eliminated.
Let us show you how conveniently you can own a
Lestex-. Cut out and send this coupon to us today.

wise to the shortage
and will do his best to
even matters up, and,
maybe, run a little
ahead of schedule, just
to be in vogue on

know the old saying
